Kathleen Sickler's Web Design Project

Meta tags are keyed “description” and “keywords” that are located between the start and end head tags of an HTML document. These tags help promote your Web pages by assisting search engines in cataloging your site. Other Meta tags can be used to provide instructions to browsers, such as an instruction to move to another URL. You can put them on just the index (home) page or on every page that you create and publish, but the more pages you put them on; it will help your site to be promoted by search engines.
